"Solomon's
Judgment"
By
ETTA BARRY BIGGS
(Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman.)
Dr. Alvin Ross passed down the
street greeted by pleasant words and
faces, love for all humanity in his
heart. Dr. Juneau Lysle on the other
side of the thoroughfare, head down,
a scowl on his handsome face, curtly
nodded when addressed, hatred and
suspicion in his heart.
"Don't speak, eh?" remarked an ob-
servant storekeeper to a passer-by.
"Thought they were like brothers
when they lirst came here."
"Business rivalry, I suppose," was
the careless response. "You see, when
they came here they sort of divided
the town; Lysle took the west end,
among the fashionables. Ross chose
the larger but poorer section. I sup-
pose a sort of professional jealousy
has resulted. Anyhow, they're at dag-
gers' points.''
The speaker had the situation fifty
per cent wrong. The two young phy-
sicians had been close chums at col-
lege. They had selected Blairsville as
their future field of operations. Every-
thing had been harmonious. It was by
preference that Doctor Ross selected
a field where the poor and lowly lived.
For another reason he had little capi-
tal, while Lysle did have some. It
would cost money to build up an aris-
tocratic clientele and Lysle was best
equipped to provide it.
Now it chanced that within a week
after coming to the village Lysle met
Vashti Merriara. She was a member
of an exclusive family residing in a
show country place a few miles from
town. He was very much in love with
her and Vashti seemed impressed.
Twice Ross accompanied him in his
calls. Then one evening the servant
announced to Lysle when he called
that Miss Merriam was indisposed.
The next day he heard that she had
sent for Ross to attend her. This bis
suspicious nature accepted as a direct
slap in the face. Ross had no right
to invade his professional territory,
he hotly reasoned.
To make it worse, he was further
advised later in the week that al-
though Miss Merriam was entirely
The General Bay a:
per across the desk towards h! vu
itor.
For a moment Lysle sat spellbound.
Ten thousand dollars was a fortune!
Then a sudden flame flashed into his
eyes. He compressed his lips, a cruel
satirical smile wreathed them.
"As you see, Doctor Ross has in-
dorsed his name on the back," pursued
the lawyer. "If you will add yours,
the bank here will cash the check and
you fortunate two can divide the
money."
The somber expression deepened on
the face of the misguided Lysle. A
sinister triumph was in his face as he
wrote his name on the back of the
check, but at the end directly remote
from that of his brother practitioner.
"As 1 understand it," he spoke in a
hot hissing tone, "one-half of this
check is mine?"
"Certainly."
"To do as 1 like with it?" pressed
Lysle durkly.
"Why, of course."
"Then—Solomon's judgment!" cried j
Lysle, with a harsh grating laugh. I
"Give Ross his half. I'll keep mine." \
Snip! In a Hash Lysle had snatched ;
up a pair of shears lying on the law- j
yer's desk, with one rapid movement |
he snipped the precious check direct- |
iy in two, and arising coolly placed the j
half he had indorsed in his pocket, j
"My dear Bir!" expostulated the - ——

"This check of yours," said the
large-hearted cashier to Brushly, the
impressionist painter, "is drawn ex-

seems to be pretty nearly perfect; hot
it lacks background, Mr. Brushly. But
for that it would be a work of art.

"1 don't know what you are driving

COULD RECOGNIZE NUISANCE
Judge's Retort Set Courtroom Laugh-
ing and Gave Lawyer Something
to Think About.
City Magistrate Krotel.whois noted
for a characteristic brand of dry hu-
mor, occasionally manifested in ut-
terances from the bench, turned a
cruel shaft loose upon a pestiferous
young attorney this week, to the su-
preme enjoyment of a crowded court-
room, says the New York correspond-
ent of the Cincinnati Times-Star. The
young attorney was prosecuting in a
case where the maintaining of a nui-
sance was alleged. The rulings of
Magistrate Krotel did not please him.
His numerous objections became per-
sistently controversial. "If your honor
pleases," he said, "I would not pre-
sume to instruct the honorable court
in a question of law, but 1 am impelled
to observo that 1 doubt—in the pres-
ent case only, of course—if the court
properly conceives of what constitutes
a nuisance."
"You are mistaken, sir," was the re-
pponse from the bench. "This court
has never had a more clear or exem-
plary idea of what constitutes a nui-
sance than in the present case at the
present time. And for that, in a
measurable way, the court thanks you,
sir."
CURED OF BRIGHT'S DISEASE.
"The Mean, Disloyal Sneak!" Fumed
Lysle.
convalescent, Ross was a constant vis-
itor at her home. This infuriated
him.
"The mean, disloyal sneak!" fumed
Lysle. "He has poisoned her mind
against me probably, and has usurped
my rightful place as a lover."
So, when the two doctors met one
day, Lysle turned with a sneer from
the outstretched hand of his former
friend.
"You ever speak to me again," be
hissed, all that was bad in his impetu-
ous nature to the front, "and I'll break
your head!"
Poor Ross was astonished. He wrote
a note to Lysle. It was returned, un-
opened. He sent a mutual friend to
attempt an explanation. The inter-
mediary was insulted. Then a month
went by. Lysle kept track of Ross. It
mightily gratified him when he learned
that Ross was doing so much free
work for his poor patients, that he
had run behind on his bills and had to
borrow a few hundred dollars, mort-
gaging his office furniture as security.
One day Judge Bishop, the leading
lawyer of the town, sent for Lysle.
When he was seated the attorney
picked up a narrow slip of paper.
"Mr. Lysle," he said, "1 have some
important news for you. Do you re-
mem5er when you and Doctor Ross
came r.ere?"
"1 do not wish my name coupled
with his!" scowled Lysle.
"It is necessary, proceeded the law-
yer, "for you itie mutually interested.
Beth of you attended and saved the
life of Mr. John Parkins, a millionaire,
who was nearly killed in an automo-
bile crash. Poor man! He did not
fully recover. But ho appreciated
your dual skill. He died last week.
In recognition of your services and
kindness, he ordered the lawyer be-
fori his death to send a certified check
lor $10,000 to Or Juneau Lysle and
l)r. Alvin Ross. There it is," and the
ludge flipped the narrow slip of pa-
ing his debts!"
He was out of the office before the
judge could detain him. A fierce,
wicked hatred in his heart, ho fancied
he had gained his revenge against the
man he believed to have wronged him.
"Not a dollar of it shall he have!"
railed Lysle. "I'll see him starve, but
I'll break him, even if I have to slarvo
myself!"
He waited for some legal move on
the part of his fancied enemy, but
none was made. Alvin Ross meekly,
sweetly accepted the hard blow the
hand of a once trusted friend had
dealt him.
The hatred surging in the heart of
Lysle poisoned his life. Money he
depended on failed him. He became
ill. One night he reeled into insensi-
bility and for two weeks lay pros-
trated with a devouring fever.
It was the second day after regain-
ing consciousness, that he stirred up
as he heard the nurse in the next
room conversing confidentially with a
visiting friend.
"And, oh, my dear, what do you
think? The bank failed that the
check was drawn on and poor Doctor
Ross is robbed of his $5,000. And h
took it all with a smile, and when Doc-
tor Lysle got sick here has paid hi*
nursing, and all his bills, and has kept
up his practice for him. He's got a
reward for his goodness, though."
"How is that?" came inquisitively.
"The sweetest girl in the world for
a promised bride."
"You mean Miss Merriam?"
"Oh, dear! no—all the time Doctor
Ross was in love with her cousin,
Ernestine—an heiress, too! And say
—isn't it a strange romance? All the
time Vashti Merriam thought the
world of Doctor Lysle, and because,
naturally, she disln't send for him as
her doctor, he fancied all kinds of
things, and—"
Juneau Lysle sank back with a
groan. Oh, the folly of it all! Oh, the
wretched curse of a suspicious, world-
ly nature!
"Can you ever forgive me the awful
wrong I have done you!" he moaned
when he had sent for Doctor Ross.
"How can I make it all up to you?"
"By getting well and going to see
Vashti, who is waiting to welcome
you," replied Ross brightly—"by be-
coming my partner and working to-
gether like what we were—brothers!"
And amid the sweet calm that fol-
lowed all his senseless error, Doc-
tor Juneau Lysle redeemed himself.

by Congressman William C. Adamson
of Georgia when the conversation
turned to natural misunderstanding:
A young housewife who lives in a
suburban town went to the village
store to make some purchases.
"These chickens look very nice," re-
marked the customer, pausing before
the poultry counter. "How much are
they?"
"One dollar apiece, madam," was the
prompt response of the obliging pro-
prietor. "You cant find better poul-
try lor the money in the whole coun-
try."
"One dollar," thoughtfully mused
the customer, and then added: "Did |
you raise them?"
"Oh. no, madam!" was the hasty
assurance of the misunderstanding

I offered to sell them for yesterday."

Haitian Was a Patriot.
Haiti appears to breed a spirit of
sensitive patriotism unknown to other
countries, says the London Chronicle.
Some years ago a general in the Hai-
tian army ordered an artificial eye.
The maker did his best to execute the
order satisfactorily, but the eye was
returned from Port-au-Prince, with a
letter complaining that "the eye you
forwarded me is of a tint that resem-
bles the Spanish flag. I am far too
patriotic to wear any colors but those
of my country." After ascertaining
from the ministry of marine the col-
ors of the Haitian standard a scarlet
and green eye was dispatched and
that met with enlhusiastic approval.

Where It Was Appropriate.
Lord Kitchener, it is said, is very
pleased with the result of the present
temperance move.
"We are all temperate now," said
his lordship recently.
"To get drunk is an unheard-of thing
among gentlemen. If a gentleman
ever gets drunk nowadays he has, you
may be sure, a remarkable excuse to
offer." To illustrate his point Lord
Kitchener told this story:
A major, after a fancy dress ball at
Simla, came home drunk and his
shocked wife said to him:
"Aren't you ashamed to return from
the ball in that condition?"
"Don't blame me. my dear," said the
major; "you must remember that the
character 1 assumed was that of a
sponge."
Picked a Real American Name.
A somewhat unpatriotic little son of
Italy, twelve years old, came to his
teacher in the public school and asked
if he could not have his name
changed.
"Why do you wish to change your
name?" the teacher asked.
"I want to be an American. I live
in America now."
"What American name would you
like to have?"
I have it here," he said, handing
the teacher a dirty scrap of paper on
which was written "Patrick Dennis
McCarty."

a month. We are also supplying food
to the inhabitants of Poland, whom
Germany has taken over.
"We have a good deal to do, eli? We
are like the father who said:
" At last, at lust, I've got my live
daughters off my hands. Now to put
my five sons-in-law on their feet.'"
